We have this little family tradition on birthdays: in the morning, the birthday cake sits as if by magic, right in the center of the breakfast table, starting an entire day of celebrating. Right now I'm "only" a 100 grams of cracked nuts away from being ready to bake Rebecca's birthday cake. (It's my mamma's carrot cake, which calls for almonds, but I only had walnuts and hazelnuts on hand.)
Thank you all for your warm birthday wishes. Rebecca is indeed one lucky girl to receive so many good thoughts - as of tomorrow morning, a lucky three year old girl!
My thoughts tonight are with Neonatal Intensive Care Unit babies and their families.
